Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, and early detection is critical for improving patient outcomes. Despite this, reliable non-invasive biomarkers for early-stage HCC are limited. This study seeks to develop a multi-omics-based liquid biopsy assay, especially focusing on ncRNAs (e.g. tsRNA, miRNA, circRNA, lncRNA, etc.) for accurate detection of early-stage HCC.

Palliative systemic therapy is the standard treatment option for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and peritoneal metastasis (PM), who have a median overall survival of only 6-11 months and a serious adverse event (SAE) rate of >5%. Patients with peritoneal-only metastasis may demonstrate unique tumor biology with less potential for hematogenous and lymphatic spread, making them potential candidates for a regional approach directed at the peritoneum. PIPAC is a drug- delivery system that combines the pharmacokinetic advantages of low- dose intraperitoneal chemotherapy (high tumor tissue penetration with low systemic absorption/toxicity) with the principles of aerosolization (homogenous intraperitoneal distribution and deeper tissue penetration). PIPAC may offer a complimentary approach to maximize drug delivery to tumor implants, potentially improving quality of life and survival without significant additional morbidity. Several non-randomized studies have evaluated safety, feasibility, and efficacy of PIPAC with various intraperitoneal agents in a variety of tumor types. Very few patients with pancreatic cancer PM have been included in these studies and most have been treated with either PIPAC-oxaliplatin or doxorubicin/cisplatin. A recent phase 1 dose-escalation study included patients with ovarian, gastric, breast, and hepatopancreatobiliary malignancies. One patient with pancreatic cancer was included in this study. The recommended phase 2 dose was 140 mg/m2, with guidance to decrease the dose to 112.5 mg/m2 in patients with hepatic impairment. Therefore, the dose utilized in this study is 112.5 mg/m2. This recommendation was based on concern for nab-paclitaxel hepatotoxicity, but there was no data presented to support this expert recommendation. This study sets out to explore the role of PIPAC with nab-paclitaxel in combination with medical oncology choice standard of care therapy in this patient population.

This is a 28-week, single-arm, open-label phase II clinical trial evaluating the combination of Tirzepatide and remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise training to achieve weight loss in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) living with obesity or overweight with comorbidity. Primary Objective(s): • To evaluate the effectiveness for weight loss of the combined intervention using once weekly Tirzepatide plus remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise (three sessions per week) in adult survivors of childhood ALL with obesity or overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) with ≥1 weight-related comorbidity (hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease). The effectiveness will be estimated as the proportion of evaluable participants who achieve at least 5% weight loss from baseline to week 28. The study will target a proportion of participants achieving 5% weight loss of 70% and consider fewer than 40% achieving 5% weight loss as unacceptable. Secondary Objective(s): - Estimate the proportion of participants who adhere to the 28-week combined intervention. Adherence to Tirzepatide will be defined as receiving at least 70% of prescribed doses. Adherence to resistance exercise will be defined as attending at least 50% of prescribed exercise sessions. Adherence to the combined intervention will be considered if participants complete the study and meet both the Tirzepatide and exercise adherence endpoint. The adherence to each component of the intervention will also be reported. - Estimate the average percentage weight loss from week 0 to 28 for participants completing the combined 28-week intervention. The study will target a mean weight reduction of 10% and consider <5% unacceptable.

Phase 2b Study of RPT904 as Monotherapy in Participants With IgE-Mediated Food Allergy: This is a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating RPT904, a next-generation anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, in people with food allergy. RPT904 is a long-acting antibody that may allow for dosing every 8 to 12 weeks. Approximately 100 participants between the ages of 12 and 55 with documented allergy to at least one of the following foods: peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut will be enrolled. In Part 1 (24 weeks), participants will be randomly assigned to receive RPT904 every 8 or 12 weeks (plus a loading dose at Week 2), or placebo. In Part 2 (24 weeks), participants who received RPT904 will continue on their assigned dosing schedule, and those who previously received placebo will be re-randomized to receive RPT904 either every 8 or 12 weeks (plus a loading dose at Week 26). All participants will attend study visits approximately every 2-6 weeks throughout both Part 1 and Part 2 to maintain blinding, regardless of treatment group or dosing frequency. The study is being conducted at multiple sites. The primary goal is to assess whether RPT904 helps participants tolerate higher amounts of a food allergen without dose-limiting allergic symptoms during a food challenge. The study will also monitor the safety and side effects of RPT904 over time. Each participant is expected to be in the study for about 68 to 74 weeks, including screening, treatment, and follow-up.

Night shift work schedules disrupt sleep and have a negative impact on cardiovascular health. Most who work in public safety occupations and in healthcare work night shifts. These workers experience abnormal blood pressure during night shifts and are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Napping during night shifts can help to restore blood pressure patterns to a more normal pattern and may help to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. Naps may also have an impact on alertness and performance immediately upon waking. The overarching goal of this study is to determine which duration of a nap taken during simulated night shift work has the greatest impact blood pressure and post-nap performance. Researchers will compare 5 nap durations to see which has the greatest impact on blood pressure patterns and post-nap psychomotor performance. Researchers hypothesize that longer naps will lead to improved blood pressure outcomes and shorter naps will contribute to better performance after waking. Findings will help employers and employees who work night shifts determine how best to incorporate brief naps during night shift work.

This clinical trial evaluates the effect of radiotherapy doses based on tumor size and tumor-specific characteristics (biologically-adapted) in treating patients with Ewing sarcoma. Radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Conventional radiotherapy uses minimal imaging support to determine the positioning of radiotherapy. Hypofractionated radiotherapy delivers higher doses of radiotherapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Dose-escalated radiotherapy uses doses that are higher than those used in conventional radiotherapy. Larger tumor sizes and other tumor-specific characteristics have been shown to be related to poorer outcomes. In addition, after dose-escalated radiotherapy, patients with larger tumors have demonstrated improved control of the disease at the primary tumor site. Giving biologically-adapted, dose-escalated radiotherapy may reduce the return of the cancer at the primary tumor site in patients with Ewing sarcoma with large tumors and other unfavorable characteristics. This clinical trial also evaluates the role of biomarkers in patients with Ewing sarcoma. Studying samples of blood and tumor tissue from patients with Ewing sarcoma in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about predicting the amount of disease and the likelihood of the cancer coming back.

The increasing prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) among older adults, coupled with high overdose rates and cognitive impairments associated with opioid use, highlights a critical gap in addiction treatment. Cognitive impairments can persist despite treatment and negatively impact recovery outcomes, yet cognitive screening and interventions are rarely integrated into OUD care. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of remotely delivered, smartphone-based cognitive assessments (administered through NeuroUX web-based software) for older adults (55+) in methadone treatment. The tasks have been "gamified" to make them engaging and brief, which could be appealing to patients. They will complete the tasks for 15 days using the phone provided or their own phone. During days 6-15 of testing, tasks will become incrementally more difficult based on participant performance to assess the feasibility of cognitive training. Cognitive training uses engaging games or tasks to strengthen thinking skills like memory and focus, much like physical exercise strengthens the body. Adherence, acceptability, and usability of the tasks will be assessed. Secondary analyses will explore relationships between task performance and participant characteristics (e.g., baseline cognitive functioning, methadone dose, timing of methadone dose). Findings from this pilot study will provide foundational data for a future grant application to develop and test digital cognitive assessment and training interventions tailored to older adults in addiction treatment. By addressing a critical yet understudied aspect of OUD care this research has the potential to enhance treatment engagement, improve clinical outcomes, and support long-term recovery in the growing older population.
